I've bought 2 of these and absolutely love them. If your looking for a heavy alternative to the RC model , say for a bench rest rifle or something you will be using with a bipod , this is your model. Extremely well made, heavy duty and will stand up to years of use. I just can't say enough good things about this model.

Description

SOCOM556-MGx

The SOCOM556-MG Fast-Attach® sound suppressor, designed expressly for use with 5.56 caliber machine guns, is a heavy-duty version of our already robust SOCOM series suppressors. It has the same advanced design features as our SOCOM556-RC suppressor, which was recently selected for the M4 and Mk18 carbines by US Special Operations Command after placing first in the most extensive and rigorous suppressor testing ever conducted, and which also received the USSOCOM official safety verification in support of fielding.

The SOCOM762-MG features advanced internal venting to reduce back pressure, reducing the suppressed cyclic rate and gas blowback on the operator. The new design also includes an integrated blast shield in the back section and an overbuilt blast baffle, significantly increasing durability. SureFire's patent-pending front-plate design, along with proprietary improvements in gas-flow dynamics, nearly eliminates first-round flash, a technological breakthrough in this area. It also attenuates noise and dust signatures to an unprecedented degree.

A new indexing system means this suppressor mounts to a current-model SureFire muzzle brake or flash hider even more solidly than our previous versions, and is easier to remove after extended firing since the index tab is in a low carbon-buildup area.

Compact and lightweight, the SOCOM556-MG produces minimal, consistent point-of-impact shift compared with the unsuppressed weapon regardless of the number of attach-detach cycles.

The SOCOM556-MG is constructed from advanced US mill-certified high-temperature alloys and heat-treated stainless steel, and features a tough, corrosion-resistant Ionbond coating on the Fast-Attach® lock ring and Cerakote™ ceramic finish on the suppressor body, in either Black or Dark Earth color.

All SureFire SOCOM Series suppressors require a compatible, latest-model SureFire muzzle brake/adapter or flash hider/adapter for attachment to a firearm. See Parts and Accessories on this page.
